VMware developers released a GUI debugging tool for GTK+
VMware's Christian Hammond and David Trowbridge have released a new tool called Parasite that can hook into GTK+ applications to facilitate interactive GUI debugging.
Parasite will provide a visual outline of the widget hierarchy and allow you to dynamically modify various widget properties while the program is running. It also includes a built-in Python shell interface that you can use to programmatically manipulate the GUI. You can even use it to add new GTK+ widgets to a window while the program is running. A few other features are also bundled, including a tab that shows GTK+ Action items and a special mode that will display a visual indication when widgets are being repainted.

Virtualization Manager Mobile Beta 1.5 is here!
Quickly following up on Beta 1, Beta 1.5 introduces three important new features:
- In addition to VMware Infrastructure 3 and VMware Server 2, VMM now supports the management and monitoring of Citrix XenServer 1.5.
- VMM now works on ALL mobile devices via its new Lite Mode. VMM will gracefully degrade itself to a zero-Javascript version if a fully-Ajax capable browser is not detected. You can now manage and monitor VMware and Xen from your BlackBerry, Windows Mobile device, or any phone with a web browser!
- Beta 1.5 introduces a feature we are calling Accidental Touch Detection (ATD). ATD prevents users from accidentally brushing up against a power button in full mode (as opposed to the new lite mode) and shutting down a VM. ATD requires an intentional touch (measured by a depression of 500 milliseconds).
